Seán Ryan (Dublin North, Labour)

Question 69: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if his attention has been drawn to the fact that a demonstration took place on Friday 28 April 2006 outside the offices of the Health and Safety Authority to commemorate workers memorial day to draw attention to the unacceptably high level of people who were killed while at work here and abroad; if his further attention has been drawn to the fact that the HSA facilitated a commemoration and a minute's silence and that ten fatalities have occurred to date in 2006 while 73 people died in 2005; the steps he proposes to take to ensure that the number of fatalities is reduced and where accidents happen there is a responsibility on all concerned to preserve the scene of the accident to facilitate a proper investigation; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
